The Order of Omei, the Nightmare accepts defeat.

Our declaration of war was a desperate act and in the end, it saved us
from nothing. Our loss was comprehensive, most of the damage done before
the war had begun. We are few, and we are weak. There is no shame in
admitting this.

We thank you, the Order of Ivoln, for being an impassioned and
relentless foe, for many of you fighting with honor, and for doing it
calmly, no theatrics. We understand what parts of our Order need
improving, and where our true strengths lie.

To the rest of you: We do not have the strength to continue. You may
destroy what few shrines we have left, but then what? I ask you to take
our defeat as a lesson to you - simple violence will solve nothing. It
is easy to make another your problems, and easier to destroy those. If
you really wish for your Lord back, look to Him and entreat Him for the
answers. Place your faith in the Gods!
